  • Well. When I copy and paste source code into my program and compile it it also doesn’t retain the actual code. It’s still not allowed.

    If I on the other hand read source code, remember and reapply it in a sort of similar way later on then that’s totally fine. But that’s not what OpenAI did there. There wasn’t a human involved that read the articles and then used that knowledge to adjust the LLM.

    There question i would have is where is the line there? Does that mean that as soon as there is some automated process that uses the data it’s fine?

    E.g. could I have a script that reads all NYT articles, extracts interesting information and provides them in a different format to users?



  • Might be a fundamental difference in opinion. I don’t see us anywhere near anything related to artificial life.

    What they’ve built there is a product, a computer program and they used other folks data to build it without getting their permission. I also cannot go and just copy and paste source code from all over the internet to build my program. There are licenses attached to it that determine what you can or can’t do with it.

    I feel like just because the term “learning” is involved people no longer view it as simply building or programming a system. Which it is.




  • I don’t see those as alternatives. Skype was always really buggy, sometimes it worked, other times it didn’t. Didn’t have great cross platform support and wasn’t suited for meetings without 500 - 1000 people. I used it in the past and it was always a huge pain to deal with.

    Hangouts is nice for 1:1 chats, but it feels lacking. Last time I tried to have a screen share in a separate window it already failed to do so.

    Discord isn’t really an enterprise tool.

    Like… I don’t really want to defend Zoom, but the one thing they do just works.











  • It’s also about the people though. Been living in the south for some time. Hard to talk to people, even harder to make friends, very rural for the most part. I even would describe a city like Stuttgart as rural. At work people approached me and said „hey you also aren’t from the south right? I noticed“ and were happy to have someone to chitchat with.

    Just my own experience… I’m very happy to have made the decision to move away again.

    Maybe it’s easy if one isn’t a German since there are kind of expat communities? I don’t know.


  • I wasn’t talking about that and I’m unsure why you are making this about privacy. The topic was about market share and seizing control of certain markets. Microsoft is a really big player in that game and Google ist irrelevant in comparison.

    This isn’t about just web browsers. Yes. Google is a step ahead in that field. And ten steps behind in most others.

    What I was trying to convey to you is: Don’t downplay Microsoft just because Google is currently a relevant topic in one corner of it.

    Yes. That’s important to. No that doesn’t mean they are playing in the same league.
